Answer 1

Metal is a solid material which conduct heat & electricity ,hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile. Nonmetal is a substance that do not exhibit properties of metals such as hardness, luster, malleability ,ductility and the ability to conduct electricity.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. A metal is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typically malleable or ductile. A metal may be a chemical element such as iron, or an alloy such as stainless steel.metals can be classified on the basis of their properties like ductility, malleability, sonority etc
2. Nonmetal or non-metal is a chemical element that does not have the properties of a metal. Some are gases including: hydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, neon, or radon and many others. An example of a solid that is a nonmetal is sulfur. It is yellow and not shiny at all.
